Ingredients
2
1 tablespoon Oil
quarter teaspoon Asafoetida
1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
8 pieces Curry leaves
1 teaspoon Grated ginger
2 pieces Green chillies
1 piece Beetroot
Salt as per taste
1 teaspoon Coriander seed powder
200 grams Amaranth leaves (laal math)
1 tablespoon Fresh coconut
Tips
For added flavor, you can sprinkle a little lemon juice over the bhaji before serving.
Make sure to use fresh amaranth leaves for the best taste and nutritional benefits.
Serve with jowar bhakri for a gluten-free meal option.
Using an iron kadhai enhances the iron content of the dish.
Directions
Prepare the pan: Heat a heavy iron or cast iron kadhai (or pan) on medium heat and add 1 tbsp of oil.
Add spices: Once the oil is hot, add 0.25 tsp of hing, 1 tsp of cumin seeds, and 1 tsp of mustard seeds. Let them splutter.
Saute aromatics: Add 8 pieces of curry leaves, 1 tsp of grated ginger, and 2 chopped green chilies. Sauté for a minute until aromatic.
Cook the beetroot: Add the chopped beetroot and sprinkle salt to taste. Add 1 tsp of coriander seed powder and a little water (about 1-2 tbsp). Sauté the beetroot for 3-4 minutes until it starts to soften.
Add amaranth leaves: Add the washed and chopped 200g amaranth leaves (Lal Math Bhaji). Mix everything well and cover the pan. Cook for another 7-8 minutes until the leaves have wilted and combined with the beetroot.
Final touches: Once cooked, remove the lid and sauté for a minute to evaporate any excess moisture.
Garnish and serve: Garnish the sabzi with freshly grated coconut and serve it hot with bhakri or roti.
Notes
Those with a history of kidney stones should avoid consuming large amounts of beetroot as it contains oxalates, which can contribute to stone formation.
People with an allergy to nightshades should also be cautious.
